The morning breeze blew the waves, and the light green window screen swayed with the wind.
Zhao Yazhi stood on the balcony and admired the sea view for a while, then returned to the house in a comfortable mood and picked up the script of "The Legend of the White Snake" that Kang Jianfei had just called.
Kang Jianfei was sitting not far away, writing and drawing. He was revising another script.
The two were busy with their own business. Zhao Yazhi read the script of "The Legend of the White Snake" for two episodes before walking up to Kang Jianfei and asking: "Is this the movie you are planning to make in the second half of the year?"
"Yes, the title of the film is "My Sassy Girl." Kang Jianfei said.
Zhao Yazhi smiled and joked: "Another romance film? You are addicted to making literary and romantic films."
Kang Jianfei explained: "DreamWorks' shooting plan for the second half of the year was formulated two months ago. There are at least three movies to be released in the Christmas, New Year and Spring Festival movies. Xu Ke's "Shushan 2" should be able to catch up with the New Year movie.
Wang Jing's "Once Upon a Time 2" is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival. There are already two fantasy and action movies, so it would be just right for me to add a romantic comedy."
"You asked Wang Jing to shoot the second part of the "Once Upon a Time" series?" Zhao Yazhi asked in surprise. She seriously doubted Wang Jing's ability to make a kung fu movie.
"Don't worry, letting him do the filming can also bring out some new ideas, so that the audience will have less and less expectations for the sequel." Kang Jianfei has no worries about Wang Jing's ability. The third part of the "Once Upon a Time" series in the original time and space
It was shot by Wang Jing. This guy turned a serious martial arts movie into a spoof, making people laugh without seeming inappropriate. This skill is enough to deserve the title of a genius director.
According to the artist promotion plan formulated by Kang Jianfei, there are now four kings and four little kings in Oriental Entertainment Agency.
The Four Heavenly Kings are movie stars Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Leung Ka-fai and Li Lianjie. Although Leslie Cheung is very popular in the film industry, his influence as a singer is greater. Therefore, he is generally classified as a singing superstar.
In addition, although He Jiajin's net worth skyrocketed after starring in "Shu Mountain", his acting skills have been criticized by people, and apart from "Shu Mountain", he has no representative film works, so now he can only be regarded as an ordinary first-line movie star.
As for the Four Little Kings, they are all TV stars, namely Jiang Hua, Yin Tianzhao, Liming and Sun Xing. These four people are all TV actors who have become popular in the past two years. Due to the popularity of Phoenix TV series, these four people are not famous.
Lost to the Wireless Five Tigers of that year.
As for the veteran actor Wan Ziting, he is a treasure in Taiwan and has a very high status in both Phoenix TV and Dongshi.
With the king, there will naturally be queens. The four queens are Chung Chu Hong, Li Saifeng, Wang Zuxian and Guan Zhilin. Originally, Kang Jianfei originally wanted to put Lin Qingxia in, but now that Lin Qingxia has faded out of the entertainment industry, he had to gather four more.
Among them, there is no doubt that Zhong Chuhong is the queen. Although Li Saifeng is not as good as Zhong Chuhong in Hong Kong, due to the super sales of "Shu Mountain", her reputation in East Asia is no less than that of Hong Gu.
Wang Zuxian and Guan Zhilin are much inferior. Wang Zuxian mainly plays a single role, all playing fairies and ghosts, and his qualifications are relatively junior, so it is a bit reluctant to be ranked among the four queens.
And Guan Zhilin is purely because her mind is not on acting. Except for her impressive role as the Thirteenth Aunt in "Once Upon a Time", she doesn't have many influential roles left, and she can't film many movies in a year. However,
Because she is pretty and has been in the business for a longer period of time, Kwan Chi-lin's reputation in Hong Kong is much greater than that of Wong Cho-hyun who works hard in making movies.
Oriental Entertainment Company's promotion of the King and Queen has been gradually accepted by the public and the media during this period. However, because the name of King and Queen is too loud, many people think that Oriental Entertainment Company is too loud. If it were replaced by the Thirteen Taibao,
Titles like Twelve Golden Hairpins are not that controversial.
Among the four kings and queens, Zhou Yunfa and Zhou Xingchi are the most convincing. Liang Jiahui seems to be less qualified and famous, but in fact, his previous starring roles in "The Curtain" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace" sold well.
After appearing on the international stage after the hit "Fang Fang", he has been able to firmly occupy the throne of the king.
The only unstable one is Li Lianjie. Although "Shaolin Temple" caused a sensation after it was released in Hong Kong, everyone always regarded him as a mainland actor. It was not until "Once Upon a Time" was released that Li Lianjie was really recognized by most Hong Kong movie fans.
Accept. He has also taken on many kung fu movies in the past two years, but the box office of these movies has not been high. As a result, Li Lianjie's salary has not increased but dropped. It is time to make a sequel to "Once Upon a Time" to consolidate his reputation.
The same principle applies to Kang Jianfei's preparation for the filming of "My Sassy Girl". His main purpose is to help Wang Zuxian ascend to the throne and expand his acting career while stabilizing his reputation as a queen.
In another time and space, perhaps because her performance as a female ghost and goblin was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Wang Zuxian did not get rid of the inherent image of a female ghost until she retired. To put it more directly, everyone liked Wang Zuxian's role as a female ghost and goblin, and once she
If he plays a normal role, not many people will buy it.
The narrow playing field was Wang Zuxian's most fatal problem. Kang Jianfei wanted to help her transform, and the first thing that came to mind was the movie "My Sassy Girl."
Zhao Yazhi was a little curious about the title "My Sassy Girl". When she took it and took a look, she was attracted by the wonderful plot. After reading the script, she asked: "A Fei, who do you plan to play the heroine?"
"Wang Zuxian." Kang Jianfei replied.
Zhao Yazhi thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "Her image is quite suitable. What about the male lead? I think Leslie Cheung is pretty good."
"No," Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "This is a female-themed romantic comedy. The male protagonist is just a foil. He must not be too dazzling. He must choose a relatively ordinary actor to play the role."
"Ordinary?" Zhao Yazhi didn't understand. It's an iron rule for handsome men and beautiful women to star in romantic films. If you want to get a good box office, you have to follow this principle. No director deliberately chooses an unattractive person to be the leading actor.
Kang Jianfei also had some difficulties. He said: "Yes, it needs to be ordinary but not too frustrating, otherwise it will not be able to support the whole role. This kind of actor is really hard to find."
…
Kang Jianfei is about to make a new movie. This news is not unexpected. Only Kang Jianfei's fans, entertainment reporters and DreamWorks competitors will pay attention.
But the news that came out immediately aroused heated discussion. Because Kang Jianfei advertised in "Oriental Daily" and Phoenix TV, Xuancheng himself couldn't find a suitable actor, so he wanted to audition for the leading actor in a new film.
This is simply unbelievable. With so many male actors under Kang Jianfei's banner, they actually have to go through auditions to select them.
Immediately, the media came out to "expose" him, saying that Kang Jianfei's so-called audition was just a hype, and in fact, the male lead had already been decided.
Kang Jianfei didn't bother to explain this. The more he defended, the more people paid attention to this statement. As it happened, everyone focused on the film itself.
Kang Jianfei's new film is a romantic comedy. The heroine is "Xiaoqian" Wang Zuxian. This news made many Kang Jianfei fans unhappy, and they protested and asked Kang Jianfei to make an action movie. However, Wang Jianfei's fans were very happy. They hope that their idol can
Smooth transformation.
The ones who are in the worst mood are probably Pan Disheng and Huang Baiming. Because of the popularity of "Fang Fang" in the summer season, they both chose to film a romantic comedy film to compete in the Christmas season. Now Kang Jianfei also wants to film a romance film
Comedy, this is the rhythm of a car crash!
It's a pity that they have already written the script. The contracts of the director and actors have been signed. The preliminary preparation work has been almost done. It is impossible to adapt the shooting plan just because Kang Jianfei wants to make the same type of film.
tvb clear water bay studio.
Twenty or thirty extra actors in costumes and holding swords and guns stood in two teams. The background of the camera was a city wall made of wooden boards and foam.
Wei Zhongyuan, the little villain played by Wu Zhenyu, rode on the only horse, pulled out his sword and shouted: "Kill!"
More than a dozen supporting players followed Wu Zhenyu's horse, rushing towards the dozen supporting players on the opposite side like street gangsters fighting, and then the two sides caught each other and fought together.
"Ka! This one is over, ready to shoot the next one."
As soon as the director gave the order, the dead bodies on the ground immediately stood up and then ran to put on makeup and change clothes.
More than ten minutes later, Wu Zhenyu slashed Zheng Chenggong, played by Lu Liangwei, on the arm. Lu Liangwei covered the wound on his arm and glared at Wu Zhenyu: "Why did you defect to the Manchus? Why did you betray me!"
"Brother, everyone is his own master. If you are offended! Kill!" Wu Zhenyu rode his horse and raised his sword to kill Lu Liangwei.
Dozens of extras mingled together again until the director shouted "click" when satisfied.
The filming was in the middle of the afternoon. Wu Zhenyu, as a minor supporting actor, had finished filming, but the male lead, Lu Liangwei, had to wait until midnight to finish the work.
However, Wu Zhenyu did not leave, but continued to stay on the crew - changing into a soldier's costume and playing a small role.
Wu Zhenyu was a classmate of Tony Leung Chiu-wei and Zhou Xingchi in the wireless artist training class. A few years later, Tony Leung Chiu-wei has become the head boy of TVB, and Zhou Xingchi has become one of the four kings of DreamWorks. And he, Wu Zhenyu, has been playing a small role since 1982.
After working as a bit player for five years, I finally got a role with a name and lines half a month ago.
Today's filming went relatively smoothly, and the work ended early at just after 8pm.
Wu Zhenyu, who was exhausted, rubbed his waist and prepared to go home to rest, but was dragged by Ouyang Zhenhua to have a late-night snack, along with the dark Liu Qingyun.
Among the three of them, the fat guys Ouyang Zhenhua and Wu Zhenyu were students at the same time, while Liu Qingyun was the junior fellow student one year behind them. Ouyang Zhenhua and Liu Qingyun had a better career, and they could have played the kind of good actors two or three years ago.
For roles with more than a dozen lines, the two of them can now occasionally play supporting roles with more scenes.
However, in terms of actor contracts, there is actually no difference between the three.
Although TVB's long-term contracts of five to ten years have been criticized many times, you have to be qualified if you want to be exploited by TVB. Wu Zhenyu, Ouyang Zhenhua and Liu Qingyun are obviously the kind of actors who are not qualified. They want to be exploited by TVB
There is no way to sign a five-year contract - the salary will be higher after signing.
The three of them found a roadside stall and sat down, each ordering a bowl of noodles, a few skewers of fish eggs and a bottle of beer, which was a hearty late-night snack.
Among the three, Wu Zhenyu is shy and inferior, Liu Qingyun is taciturn, but Ouyang Zhenhua, who looks dull and honest, is the most active.
Before the boss even cooked the noodles, Ouyang Zhenhua took out a crumpled copy of "Oriental Daily" and said mysteriously: "I heard that Kang Jianfei's new film is going to audition for the leading actor."
Wu Zhenyu filled a glass of beer and asked, "You don't want to audition, do you?"
"Why not? It doesn't cost anything, so let's try our luck." Ouyang Zhenhua asked Liu Qingyun, "Are you going?"
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Liu Qingyun's dark face: "If we want to make a romance movie, the heroine will be Wang Zuxian. Do you think I might be chosen as the male lead?" Liu Qingyun glanced at Wu Zhenyu and said, "The three of us
Among them, Zhenyu has the best chance, he is the most handsome."
Ouyang Zhenhua pointed to a line of text in the newspaper and said, "Did you see that Kang Jianfei said that the male protagonist should be ordinary-looking, but not the one who is too handsome?"
Wu Zhenyu shook his head: "It's better not to waste time. I never won the Mark Six lottery."
Ouyang Zhenhua looked at his two friends and encouraged, "Have you never thought about becoming famous instantly? Even if it's impossible, you have to try. If you try, there is still some hope. If you don't try, you won't even have a chance."
.”
Wu Zhenyu and Liu Qingyun were silent. Who among actors has never dreamed of becoming famous overnight? It was just a few years of supporting roles that shattered their original beautiful dreams bit by bit. (To be continued...) u
